Generating energy from ambient signals or a dedicated source improves the chances of replacing conventional battery-based systems. Batteries have been the most important power source in applications where mobility is essential. These portable devices eliminated the need for extensive transmission cables and ac power outlets. From watches to automobiles, batteries reigned as the power source over many decades. However, as time goes on, the disposal of dead batteries poses a relevant concern and real threat. Harmful chemicals, such as lead, mercury, cadmium, zinc, and chromium <xref ref-type=\"bibr\" r xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\">[1]</xref>\u0000, from dumped batteries can change the soil composition, which affects agriculture and, eventually, the biochain. With the evolving food chain, these harmful compounds affect the equilibrium of the entire ecosystem. Therefore, a viable replacement for battery-based devices becomes imperative.","PeriodicalId":55023,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Microwave Magazine","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141948298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are three types of metamaterials: 1) single negative, where the material has either a negative permittivity value or a negative permeability value; 2) double negative, the most common type, in which both permeability and permittivity have negative values; and 3) zero index, where either <inline-formula xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\"><tex-math notation=\"LaTeX\">${epsilon}$</tex-math></inline-formula> or <inline-formula xmlns:mml=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\" xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\"><tex-math notation=\"LaTeX\">${mu}$</tex-math></inline-formula> is zero, which leads to a zero-refractive index.

An important characteristic of a double-negative metamaterial is its ability to support wave transmission in the reverse direction, where the phase and group velocities exhibit opposing orientations, (i.e., the incident wave direction is opposite to that of the maximum power).
